Jumbo RMBS Issuance Already Surpasses 2014 Total

The issuance of U.S. prime jumbo residential mortgage-backed securities has already surpassed the 2014 total, according to Fitch Ratings.

By the third quarter, $10.1 billion of these loans had been supplied — a 22% increase over the $8.3 billion circulated throughout 2014.

"Post-crisis prime jumbo loans are rolling delinquent at one-fifth the rate of their precrisis counterparts," said Fitch Director Sean Nelson in an Oct. 15 news release.

Nevertheless, jumbo RMBS pursued their quarter-to-quarter decline, with seven deals made in the third quarter, compared to 10 in the second quarter and 12 in the first quarter.
